week's free episode. Well, you see, that's the thing, Keith, because I used to be in the band

D. Ream, and then I became a renowned cosmologist.

And what that makes you realize is when you look out at the vastness of the universe,

you just sort of see how sort of pointless a lot of these debates really are.

Yes, thank you Brian. Professor Brian Cox there. He's always,

always calling into the show. So today we are taking your calls, as you may have heard on the big

debate with me, Keith James. And the topic for today is, of course, will you be traveling abroad

while the pandemic is ongoing? Have you traveled abroad? That's what we're taking your calls on

today. And I've got this call coming in from Barry. Barry, where are you right now?

Good morning, Keith, yeah. I'm calling in from Raka, so I'm sorry if the line's a bit dodgy, but, you know, the coverage out here is not exactly great in the look like.

Sorry, Barry, you said you're calling in from Raka as in Raka in Syria, the ongoing conflict zone in the Middle East?

Yeah, that's right, that's where I am, yeah.

Okay, Barry, let's just take a step back here for a second.

So you obviously have been traveling during the pandemic.

I take it that you are, you're a British, your British national.

Is that right, Barry? You live in the UK?

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah. I was all done born and bred.

And so what exactly, what exactly happened here?

What made you take the decision to travel abroad?
